A grand and magnificent wedding scene. Endless congratulations and praise. An outstanding and elegant groom... Today is the day of Wei Zhe and Gu Xiyan's wedding. At this moment, in a large restaurant under the name of Zhiyi Group, which serves as the wedding venue, people from all walks of life are gathering. Wei Zhe and his parents are greeting everyone in an orderly manner.

  Compared to the hustle and bustle downstairs, at this moment, a dressing room on the third floor of the wine building is also bustling with excitement.

  "Hey, who's that? Little Hu? Where are Miss Gu's earrings? The ones with the flower pattern and inlaid amethyst."

  "Sister Li, where's the necklace? The white gold one. Didn't you just put it on the table?"

  "Wan Wan, come quickly and help the bride with her hair and draw her eyebrows."

  "Has the wedding dress arrived? Be careful. That wedding dress was specially made and if it gets damaged, we can't afford to pay for it."

  "Change into another pair of shoes. You guys go get that spare pair of silver studded high heels."

  “……”

  Gu Xiyan never knew that getting married would be so exhausting. After being tossed around by her husband, she stood in front of the mirror and gazed at the elegant and refined self reflected within.

  "Miss Gu, you're almost done with your makeup. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be adjusted." Seeing that Gu Xiyan didn't respond, one of the stylists next to her reminded her.

  "Great, thank you." Gu Xiyan shifted her gaze away from the mirror and towards several stylists who had been busy for a while. She expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

  Gu Xiyuan never knew. It turned out she could be so beautiful. Just now, she saw herself in the mirror for the first time. She simply couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was herself. Such elegance. Such refinement. Belonged to her.

  "Don't be polite, Miss Gu. This is what we should do. If Miss Gu has no further instructions, then we'll take our leave first." The speaker was the leader of several stylists.

  "Alright." Gu Xiyan said gently.

  After the stylists left, the dressing room suddenly became quiet. Gu Xiyan stood up and turned around, her wedding veil fluttering with her.

  The wedding ceremony starts at 10 am. Gu Xiyan glanced at the wall clock in the dressing room and calculated that there was still more than an hour to wait.

  No one came to look for her from either side. Gu Xiyan simply snuck out of the room and went outside.

  Outside the dressing room was a corridor. The corridor had orange-yellow lighting. Perhaps everyone had gone to the first floor. At this moment, the corridor was very quiet. Gu Xiyan lightly lifted the hem of her wedding dress, thinking that she didn't want to get it dirty. After walking for a short while, she turned around a corner. Suddenly, her body trembled slightly. She felt as if someone was staring at her.

  Because Gu Xiyan was in a dimly lit place, she turned her head and didn't see anything. She calmed herself down and warned herself not to be too anxious. This time, however, she quickened her pace, thinking of heading towards the brighter area.

  She had only taken a few steps when that fiery gaze locked onto her again. Afraid of some bad people, Gu Xiyan simply quickened her pace and ran forward.

  A large hand suddenly grabbed her. Gu Xiyan subconsciously wanted to cry out, but at this time, another hand covered her lips.

  Gu Xiyan hadn't yet made out who the person was, but that person had already pulled her towards the elevator.

  It wasn't until she stepped into the elevator that Gu Xiyan finally got a clear look at the person...

  "Shang Ge..." Gu Xiyan's tense body relaxed a bit. But... where was he taking her?

  "What are you... " was about to be asked by Gu Xiyan. But Shang Qi's eyes narrowed and stared at her, so the rest of her words were swallowed back.

  The elevator stopped. Gu Xiyan noticed that this was the 11th floor, the second-to-last floor of the building.

  Shang Yiqi didn't say a word and took Gu Xiyen to another corridor with orange lights on. "What do you..." Gu Xiyen wanted to ask what he was going to do, but Shang Yiqi suddenly opened a room and pushed her in.

  With a "click", the door was locked from the inside.

  "You seem to be doing well." These were his first words when they met again. His tone even carried a hint of resentment.

  Gu Xiyan was almost knocked over when she was pushed forward, but fortunately, she managed to steady herself in time. "Shang Ge, why did you bring me here?" she asked, puzzled.

  "You said it's why." Shang Qi Jun raised his eyes, and his cold gaze shot towards the beautifully dressed Gu Xi Yan. He had thought that she would look very pretty in a wedding dress. But he didn't think that she could be so stunningly beautiful. And yet, she was dressed up so beautifully, all for another man.

  Another man. The man who is about to become her husband. The man she loves.

  Shang Yi couldn't express the hatred in his heart.

  When she just left, he thought he could forget her, forget this heartless woman. But soon he found out that he was just deceiving himself. He couldn't forget, no matter how hard he tried. She had already invaded his bones and soul, had already entered his world, leaving an indelible mark that belonged only to her. She could leave so lightly, say the word "divorce" without hesitation. But he couldn't do it. Even if she was such a heartless woman, he still wanted to keep her by his side. Even if he couldn't get her love, he stubbornly refused to let go.

  Is he stupid? He just fell in love with a woman who doesn't like him back. Is he wrong? Is loving someone wrong? All he knows is that in the three months and six days since she left, every breath he takes, every second that passes, the love and hatred in his heart grows more frantic by an inch.

  He can't help but love her, just as he can't help but hate her. He hates her coldness and ruthlessness, yet loves her entirely.

  "Big Brother Shang, do you have something to say to me? I still need to go back later. If you want to say something, then hurry up and say it." Gu Xiyan couldn't read Shang Qi's mind, thinking he had some private words to share with her.

  "You are beautiful." Shang Qi gazed into Su Xian's eyes and repeated again, "You look especially beautiful today."

  "Uh." Gu Xiyan's small mouth opened slightly, clearly surprised. After fully absorbing the sentence, her face involuntarily flushed with a few shades of red. She softened her tone and said, "Thank you."

  "But... " Shang Xi's tone suddenly turned icy cold. He grasped Gu Xiyan's chin, his whole body radiating a deep chill. "But... you're dressed so beautifully, yet it's to marry another man."

  "Shang Ge, what's wrong with you? I'm in pain." Gu Xiyan's lower jaw was pressed to the point of pain.

  "Tell me. Will you go back with me?" Shang Xi said, moving his hand from her chin to the base of her neck.
